A Goat in a Street-Car,

The passengers on an F street-ear
enjoyed an amusing incident a few
mornings ago. At the corner of Tenth
street robust colored damsel entered
the car carrying in her arms young
goat The driver pecred through the
window, and seeing the kid at once
opened the door, and, putting his head
into the car, shouted:
Il say, there! You'll have to take
that goat out of the car; can't allow
no goats to ride
The girl did not hear or pretended
not to hear. for she gazed straig CHIT
ahead, and paid no attention. The
driver stopped his car and entered.
''Come, now" he said, didn't you
hear me tell you that goats was not to
be brought into this car? Now want
you to put that goat off, -
"Boss, replied the girl quietly, .I've
done paid my fare, and Use gwine to
ride, is.
You can't ride with a goat in your
lap persisted the driver.
.'Whot do you take me fohp'' said
the girl, showing evidence of spirit.
Oars a gal ODER dar, pointing to a
richly-dressed society belle with King
Charles spaniel in her arms, with a
nasty, ugly dog. Now, ant my goat

By this time the passengers were
roaring with laughter, and several gen
men urged the driver to let the girl and
| her goat alone. The merriment of the
passengers only increased his ire, how
ever, for he seized the girl by the arm
saying:
Come, [ won't waste words about
it; take that animal out Of the car!'
The now Infatuated girl gave the car
driver a push which made him take a
seat in a lady lap, and she screamed
as she rose to her feet and deposited
her goat on the seat: Oar, dar; dat 5

| After this the driver concluded to let

damsel looked daggers toward the front
platform and muttered: 'sDerned #

il under about the last Of May Or tile
first Of June. The ground is then
sown to buckwheat, which is ploWed
.upder before the seed natures. The
land is then sown to fall rye, which is
turned under the next season when the
stalks are nearly grown, but before
heads are formed. If one could be
assured of a fairly moist soil at the time
when drought is likely to prevail it
would be advisable to SOW white turnips
instead of rye. They grow rapidly,
shade the ground, do not interfere with
the action of the pillow, and decay quick
ly after they are buried. In the south
ern states the plant known as the cow
pea is extensively raised for the p11r-
pose of blowing under. The plant
grows rapidly, takes kindly to hot

nitrogen, completely shades the ground
for several weeks, and decays quickly

That Pass Nuisance.

About the, only thing that the new in
terstate commerce law has succeeded
in doing, is cutting off passes. Rail-
roads kick against every other provis-
ion of the law, and business men and
shippers kick more than the railroads.
Everybody wants every part of the law
suspended, except that relating to
passes, and the railroads want that to
remain, as it relieves them from great
imposition. The facts of the matter seem
to be that the railroads felt that some
crank would be introducing bill to
take the control Of railroads out of the
hands of the owners, and to head off
such legislation, which might work in
jury to hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of property, the railroads
got this bill introduced, and it was
made as obnoxious as possible to the
people, all loss falling upon them. with
the idea that the people would clamor
for the repeal of the law. When it is
repealed, the pass nuisance will have
been killed to such an extent that no
one will have the face to ask for pass
again in ten years, and if they do, the
railroads will be in position to say.

that free passes was the cause of all
our trouble before, and now that we

Animal Ailments.

Heart disease is an affection to
which nine-tenths of the animals in
confinement are subject. Among ele-
plants the most common and fatal Of
many diseases is rheumatism; monkeys
and balloons generally die from bron-
chial affections and heart disease;
felines, such as lions. tigers. leopards..
etc, from dysentery and heart disease;
deer, antelope. etc, suffer most from
dysentery and heart disease; while
